Human-Technology Collaboration Research Lab
@ George Washington University
An interdisciplinary research lab that explores how we create, train, interact with, and collaborate with
increasing intelligent technologies in both the classroom and workplace. We are fond of saying that our lab is the
peanut butter between the STEM and non-STEM research in this topic (or sandwich).
